What customers say
Customers consistently praise the Moonraker for its exceptional build quality and thoughtful design.

Know before you buy
The Moonraker Standard is precision-engineered specifically for standard 58mm portafilters. If you use a non-standard basket size, it will not provide the intended fit or distribution results.
The tool uses a complex, rotating needle pattern to break up clumps and redistribute coffee grounds evenly throughout the basket. This homogenization reduces channeling, leading to a more consistent and balanced extraction.
Not at all. The needles are held in place by embedded neodymium magnets, allowing you to snap them in and out quickly without needing tools. The kit also includes spare needles to ensure you have replacements on hand.
The Standard edition features a body crafted from anti-static, glass-fiber-reinforced, food-safe polymer. This material choice keeps the tool lightweight and durable while effectively managing static buildup during the distribution process.
Because the needles are medical-grade stainless steel and the body is food-safe polymer, maintenance is minimal. We recommend keeping the needles clean of coffee oils and storing the device in the included machined aluminum caddy when not in use.
